Argillaceous Relations


Dean Cross, Kate Hill, Kerryn Levy, Tyson Yunkaporta


Curated by Hannah Presley and Debbie PryorMr Kitly gallery, 381 Sydney Road Brunswick16 March  - 6 April 2019


Argillaceous Relations illustrates connections between the earth and self. Communicating relationships to land, to ways of making, materiality and place. We believe objects made from the earth are imbued with an intimate connection to both the land and human touch, and relate to images and interpretations of landscape that express family histories, community rituals and adamantine bonds. https://mrkitly.com.au/blogs/gallery/argillaceous-relations-16-march-6-april-2019
